The ageless winger has backed his decision to retire from the Welsh team in 2007 and reiterated that the choice was the correct one.
While his success at Manchester United maybe unparalleled all over the World, for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 was something he could not add to his burgeoning resume.
The attacking midfielder has been utilized by Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson on a regular basis despite reaching the ripe age of 38. As an experienced statesman, a lot was expected of Giggs as he made his debut for National side in 1991.
However, a career which promised so much was never fulfilled on the International arena, as the country never had quality players to match their iconic captain until recently.
The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Ramsey-c3065 have ushered in a new era for the Dragons, with qualification for a major tournament now a realistic target.
Calls from him to return to the squad have been reported, but Giggs has closed that chapter of his life and remains determined to focus his energies at Old Trafford, where he has gone from being a dazzling youngster to a global ambassador of the sport.
"I decided to retire just to prolong my career, which I think was the right choice. Of course, you think back to when you were playing for Wales and the great memories. Unfortunately I have retired now."
He also commented on Wales' chances of navigating through the qualifiers for the World Cup, claiming that the first result has not been the best but the side do have the ability to go through eventually.
"It is a tough group. Obviously, with James getting sent off, it was always going to be uphill after that and a bit of a struggle and unfortunately not the result you want at the start of a campaign. But the good thing is there are still plenty more games
to go and you have got plenty of time to turn it around so hopefully we can do that,” said Giggs.
With United capturing some high profile players during the summer, game time for the experienced play-maker could be even lesser in than recent years.
However despite that, Giggs remains true to the Red Devils’ cause and will in all likelihood continue playing for a couple of seasons more.
